ToolTip as a dialog

[rwozniak]

I'm trying to move all of my dialogs, which currently use the RadWindow, over to RadToolTip or RadToolTipManager...not sure yet which is best.

As a simple example, I'd like to have it so that when a user clicks on a button, I display the dialog with an ascx loaded into it. On my aspx test page I have a RadAjaxManager, a RadToolTipManager a RadScriptManager and the button. The codebehind is shown below.

In Page_Load I set the button as an ajax trigger and a TargetControl of the ToolTipManager. In the button's event handler I load the ascx and call Show, but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions? I couldn't find an example in the demo section of the site that could get me over the hump. By the way, I'd really like to achieve this without any custom JavaScript if I can help it, though if I have to return a single line as an AJAX response script that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

 

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

AjaxManager1.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(MyButton, ToolTipManager);

ToolTipManager.TargetControls.Add(MyButton.ClientID);

}

 

protected void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

 

{

ToolTipManager.UpdatePanel.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Add(LoadControl(

"MyControl.ascx"));

 

ToolTipManager.Show();

}

Hello rwozniak,

The RadToolTipManager differs from the RadToolTip control. In order to achieve the desired behavior you should use its LoadOnDemand functionality and add the desired user control in its OnAjaxUpdate event as shown in this online demo.

I also strongly recommend to examine the following demos in order to get a better understanding of the RadToolTipManager usage and specifics:
